Frankly I'm sad they're calling it the 5. I thought they would do New iPhone like they did with the last iPad.

Does the name really matter????

I bought mine for the total package - IOS, hardware, ecosystem, etc.

As for the post comparing the leaked photos and hinting they wouldnt get one if it looked like that - what are you hoping for?? A wide pocket buster that you cant reach the other side with one finger??

The beauty of this design is the simplicity of use....

If I wanted a non-functional, plastic POS I would still have my old BB or flip phone.....

Just my 2 cents - flame away....--Nothin' left to do but smile smile smile

I think desktops/laptops are different, because they've always been many iterations of them with the same name.

And now there will always be many iterations of the iPad with the same name.

The numbering is not sustainable. If they stuck with that, we'd have the Mac 4,194,304k instead of just "the new iMac".

It'll lead to confusion at first, but somehow the original iPod, the iPod nano, and iPod touch line has managed to survive in the consumer electronics space without numbers after the name.--University of Southern California - Fight On!

I just can't quite see what they could do to the iPhone 5 to live up to expectation of the namesake.

I don't have an iPhone yet, although I do have a new iPad, iPod Touch and MBP. This may be the point at which I buy an iPhone but I think I might make it a 4S, 4 or maybe even 3GS if I am. Feeling cheap,....

And I just might give it to my loving Wife,........LOL,....... You hear that!!!
